A Rustic Garden Blog

I have two large cast iron garden urns on each side of the driveway at my home.  They have been in place for several years and the paint had started to fade.  Last weekend I finally got around to painting the urns with a new finish. 

My wife Mary and I live in a 1920’s era classic home and we also painted the house last fall.  With the porches and trim being a new coffee bean color, the garden planters look great with the same finish.  Like anything made of iron the cast iron urns will eventually fade and rust, but a fresh coat of paint every three or four years will keep your garden urns looking sharp.
